Note: The date of the final examination is set by the Registrar and takes precedence over the
final examination date reported in this document. Students must verify this date on Bear
Tracks when the Final Exam Schedule is posted.
Approximate grading scheme:
• Grade of A+ for total achievement of 95% or higher
• Grade of D or better for total achievement of 50% or higher
• Splits for other grades: approximately evenly spaced between the cut offs for A+ and F.
Written homework assignments: There will be 3 written homework assignments for a combined
weight of 7.5% toward your final grade. Written homework packages provide an important
opportunity for you to practice course content. Their due dates are available on the Class Schedule.
You need to submit your work online via the Assign2 online grading system.
Labs: 50-minute lab units will accompany this course, approximately two per week. There will be
3 lab quizzes, see Lab Quizzes Schedule on the main page. The combined weight of lab quizzes is
10% toward your final grade. Your TA will inform you in the lab in advance of the quiz if there are
changes. The first lab will be on Thursday May 8th.
Online Assignments: there will be 5 online assignments. The combined weight of online
assignments is 7.5% toward your final grade. These online assignments will be administered
through eClass quizzing system. There is no additional cost, and there is no need to register with
any 3rd party provider.
Midterm Exam: We will have one midterm exam with a weight of 25% toward your final grade.
Final Examination: there will be a final examination, with a weight of 50% toward your final
grade. Format of midterm and final exams will be announced. Sample midterm and final exams
from previous years will be posted on eClass as soon as relevant material has been or will soon be
covered in class.
Further Information:
Missed Assignment/Lab: Failure to submit an assignment/project on time will result in a
mark of zero
Missed Term Work or Final Exam Due to Non-Medical Protected Grounds (e.g., religious
beliefs):
When a term assessment or final exam presents a conflict based on non-medical protected
grounds, students must apply to the Academic Success Centre for accommodations via their
Register for Accommodations website. Students can review their eligibility and choose the
application process specific for Accommodations Based on Non-medical Protected Grounds.
It is imperative that students review the dates of all course assessments upon receipt of the course
syllabus, and apply AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to ensure the timely application of the
accommodation. Students who apply later in the term may experience unavoidable delays in the
processing of the application, which can impact the accommodation.
Missed Midterm: A student who cannot write the midterm due to incapacitating illness,
severe domestic affliction or other compelling reasons can apply for an excused absence. To
apply for an excused absence, the student must present supporting documentation pertaining to
the absence to the instructor within two working days following the scheduled date of the
missed term work, or as soon as the student is able. In the case of an incapacitating illness,
either a medical note or a statutory declaration (which can be obtained at the student's Faculty
Office) will be accepted.
There is no deferred midterm exam. If you miss it and have a valid reason for doing so,
the weight of the midterm will be transferred to the final exam; i.e., the weight of your
final exam will be 75%. An excused absence is a privilege and not a right; there is no
guarantee that an absence will be excused.
Misrepresentation of Facts to gain an excused absence is a serious breach of the Code of
Student Behavior.
Missed Final Examination: A student who cannot write the final examination due to
incapacitating illness, severe domestic affliction or other compelling reasons can apply for a
deferred final examination. Students who failed at the start of term to request exam
accommodations for religious beliefs are expected to follow the normal deferred final
examination process. Such an application must be made to the student's Faculty office within
48 hours of the missed examination and must be supported by a Statutory Declaration (en lieu
of a medical statement form) or other appropriate documentation (Calendar section 23.5.6).
Deferred examinations are a privilege and not a right; there is no guarantee that a deferred
examination will be granted.
Misrepresentation of Facts to gain a deferred examination is a serious breach of the
Code of Student Behavior.
Deferred final exam: Thursday, June 19, 2023. The time and the place TBA.
Re-examination: A student who writes the final examination and fails the course may apply
for a re-examination. Re-examinations are rarely granted in the Faculty of Science. These
exams are governed by University (Calendar section 23.5.5) and Faculty of Science
Regulations (Calendar section 192.5.9). Misrepresentation of Facts to gain a re-examination is
a serious breach of the Code of Student Behavior.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Academic Integrity: The University of Alberta is commi9ed to the highest standards of academic
integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding
academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are
par@cularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of Student Behavior
(online at [Link]) and avoid any behavior which could poten@ally result
in suspicions of chea@ng, plagiarism, misrepresenta@on of facts and/or par@cipa@on in an
offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion
from the University. All forms of academic dishonesty are unacceptable at the University. Any
suspected offence will be reported to the Faculty of Science. Anyone who is found in viola@on of
the Code of Students Behaviour may receive a sanc@on. Typical sanc@ons include conduct
proba@on, a mark reduc@on or a mark of 0 on an assessment, a grade reduc@on or a grade of F
in a course, a remark on the transcript, and a recommenda@on for suspension or expulsion.
Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the Academic Integrity resources (covering
the topics of chea@ng, collabora@on, plagiarism, and substan@al assistance) on the website of
the Office of the Dean of Students.
Exam Conduct: Your student photo iden@fica@on is required at exams to verify your iden@ty.
Students will not be allowed to begin an examina@on aSer it has been in progress for 30
minutes.
The format of the exams will be announced at least one week before the exam date.
You will be asked to submit an Image of your One Card and sign an Academic Honesty
Declara@on recognizing parameters of the exam.
Recording and/or Distribution of Course Materials:
Audio or video recording, digital or otherwise, of lectures, labs, seminars or any other teaching
environment by students is allowed only with the prior written consent of the instructor or as a
part of an approved accommodation plan. Student or instructor content, digital or otherwise,
created and/or used within the context of the course is to be used solely for personal study, and
is not to be used or distributed for any other purpose without prior written consent from the
content author(s).
Students Eligible for Accessibility-Related Accommoda8ons:
In accordance with the University of Alberta’s Discrimina@on, Harassment, and Duty to
Accommodate policy, accommoda@on support is available to eligible students who encounter
limita@ons or restric@ons to their ability to perform the daily ac@vi@es necessary to pursue
studies at a post-secondary level due to medical condi@ons and/or non-medical protected
grounds. Accommoda@ons are coordinated through the Academic Success Centre, and students
can learn more about eligibility on the Register for Accommoda@ons website.
It is recommended that students apply as early as possible in order to ensure sufficient @me to
complete accommoda@on registra@on and coordina@on. Students are advised to review and
adhere to published deadlines for accommoda@on approval and for specific accommoda@on
requests (e.g., exam registra@on submission deadlines). Students who request accommoda@ons
less than a month in advance of the academic term for which they require accommoda@ons
may experience unavoidable delays or consequences in their academic programs, and may need
to consider alterna@ve academic schedules.
Academic Support Centre: Students who require additional help in developing strategies for
better time management, study skills or examination skills should contact the Academic
Support Centre (2–300 Student Union Building).
